Frankfurt University in 1928-32 was uniquely modern, liberal, and well-equipped.

Evidence

The University of Frankfurt was flourishing in the years 1928-32. Many of the professorial chairs were occupied by outstanding scholars. The university had a great number of institutes with modern equipment, and among these were several which had been set up here for the very first time, or were still unique of their sortcorresponding to the progressive spirit of the university at that time.' When Paul Tillich accepted an appointment to the chair of philosophy at the University of Frankfurt in 1928 (there was no faculty of theology as at other universities), he saw in Frankfurt the most modern and liberal of the universities’. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 129
